Master Beekeeper Christopher Kelly

Nurturing Learners in the Art & Science

Nurturing learners in the art and science of beekeeping in the Long Island context is Chris Kelly’s passion. As a committed educator, he has reached a broad spectrum of beekeepers, from novice to the advanced. His depth of experience at both the hobbyist and professional levels gives Chris a unique ability to address the concerns of both. The onset of colony collapse disorder has highlighted the critical need to be able to bridge the historical perspective with current day needs. Chris excels at this. 

Promised Land Apiaries is focused on providing an artisanal, original product, both through the process and in the finished product. The primary drive for Promised Land Apiaries is the health of the honeybee hive, without the intrusion of artificial supplements. This requires a present and active beekeeper focused on bee-health, not end-game production statistics.

"A lifelong relationship with the little self sacrificial servants called bees."
